This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

David W. Kirch

I highly recommend David Kirch, for his ability, his ethics, his enthusiasm and his wisdom. He has represented me in a highly complex, bitterly fought, emotionally and legally demanding, often exasperating matter. It has demanded careful investigation, extensive preparation, knowledgeable resear...ch, capable trial abilities, and wise decisiveness. Being a lawyer myself, I have been able to appreciate many aspects of his service that might go unnoticed by a layman, such as his strategizing for long-term results and his ability to see a larger picture than might be obvious from the facts. His knowledge and experience in his field are appreciated and admired by the Bar, and have served him well in representing me. Throughout his handling of my case, and particularly before the Court, I have remained proud that David represented me. I interviewed several other attorneys to handle the matter, and I consider that my choice of David Kirch to represent me is among the best decisions I have ever made!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
